Plant Biology Chapter 3 Quiz

In what type of tissue do photosynthates (carbohydrates produced in photosynthesis) move?

Which term refers to small leaf-shaped appendages along the side of the bud on some leaf structures?

Which term refers to a below ground, horizontal stem?

Which term about the features of a stem is mislabeled?

Which term refers to flowers that have both female and male flower parts in the same flower?

Which term is an underground stem enlarged for storage, like a potato?

Roots, stems and leaves are examples of what type of plant parts?

To measure annual growth and get an estimate on plant health and vigor, compare the length between the _______.

How can you tell a leaf from a leaflet?

Which term refers to an adventitious shoot from the branch or trunk?

Which type of root system readily divides into multiple secondary roots rather than one primary root?

Which term refers to a plant that has a male and female flower on separate plants?

Plant Tissue and Structures

Photosynthates move through phloem, essential for nutrient distribution from photosynthesis.

Leaf Appendages

Stipules are small leaf-shaped appendages located along the side of a bud, providing protection and support.

Stem Types

Rhizome refers to a horizontal stem that grows below ground, often contributing to vegetative reproduction.

Stem Features

A common misconception is about lenticels, which are not marks left in the leaf scar but structured pores on stems for gas exchange.

Flower Structure

A perfect flower contains both male and female reproductive parts, allowing for self-pollination.

Underground Storage

A tuber is an underground stem that is enlarged for storage, exemplified by potatoes, which serve as a food reservoir.

Plant Organ Classification

Roots, stems, and leaves are considered structures of plants, each performing specific functions vital for survival.

Measuring Plant Growth

To estimate annual growth, compare the distance between terminal bud scars; this reflects the plant's health and growth rate.

Leaf Identification

Leaves are distinguished from leaflets by the presence of a bud at the base of the leaf, which is absent in leaflets.

Adventitious Shoots

A watersprout is an adventitious shoot that arises from a branch or trunk, often in response to stress or injury.

Root Systems

Fibrous roots feature a network of many secondary roots, as opposed to a single, dominant primary root, enhancing stability and nutrient absorption.

Plant Reproductive Systems

A dioecious plant has separate male and female individuals, requiring cross-pollination for fruit and seed production.
